If you had to proof your yeast then theres a good chance you got the wrong one.

You can get bread improvers to help fluff your bread but I don't reckon you need it. Hand kneaded always turns out better than the machine but with heavier loaves try kneading it twice through before rising and baking. ]]> Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:13:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1144540&title=homemade-bread#1144540 <![CDATA[Homemade bread : I have recently acquired my Mums...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1144538&title=homemade-bread#1144538 Author: xLUCKYx

I have recently acquired my Mums Breville bread-maker. I have my third loaf in there at the moment and they have all been pretty stodgy... The first was the best so far and was made with only plain flour but it was still very dense. I now am using high grade flour and the loaf isn't rising at all.... checked my yeast just before though, and it's expired!! No wonder!

My bread i made recently turned out crappo, one was super yeasty and one was like dense. I wondered if the yeast was different because the recipe on the container said less yeast than what the breadmaker book said...so I got confuzzled...the second loaf I made I tried wholemal and it was dense as....so I gave up hahahahaha.
I assume the flour makes a difference as well??]]> Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:14:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1144479&title=homemade-bread#1144479 <![CDATA[Homemade bread : Man, you guys are so lucky having...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1144422&title=homemade-bread#1144422 Author: Emmecat

turns out lovely though and I get lots done while I"m waiting for it to rise. Can't wait for summer though cos then I can put it on the window ledge in the bedroom and it rises so quickly...and smells yum!

I find that although the per loaf cost is cheaper, we would use 2 homemade loaves per shop bought cos of the differing thickness we slice the bread. I always make bread when we have soup, but thats usually it. Although did make nice focacia (sp?) last summer for dipping in oils - yum! And yip, the smell is amazing.

I worked out the cost per loaf to be about 1.50, so a good saving since the bread we buy is 3-4 per loaf! But you have to factor in buying the machine if you don't already have one as well (we didn't).

I had a friend price out the cost of making loaves and including power etc and it was something like $1 a loaf or less I think. I'll be getting another breadmaker once we are a bit more settled but I loved our Tefal machine (although I couldn't figure out how to do very good loaves

We had this problem and started to prime the yeast before we put it in the machine. I put 1/2c hot water mixed with 1tsp sugar in the bread machine pail, then mix in the yeast. I then pop that on our fireplace mantle (as it's warm) until the yeast goes all frothy. then I chuck in all the other ingredients and away you go. (This works even if you are putting it on delay as well). Prior to that, it was like the yeast wasn't activating for whatever reason.]]> Sat, 04 Sep 2010 12:28:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143961&title=homemade-bread#1143961 <![CDATA[Homemade bread : pekay wrote:Oh,.....and nothing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143854&title=homemade-bread#1143854 Author: myfullhouse

We have a brevile one. It is probably their cheapest. It was $140 on special. The shop person couldnt tell me how the more expensive one was better, so we stuck with the cheap one.

I have no idea if it is cheaper in general, but I think it is for us. At least twice a week I was either buying a speciality bread form the supermarket or a pack of fresh rolls. With these each being $4, then at least 3-4 loaves of freyas bread at approx $4 each...that was around $20 on bread

We are going through a loaf a day, however once we get a better knife we will hopefully be able to cut thiner slices...DF is a shicker with his inch thick bread!

White flour has the fibre and nutrient rich part of the grain removed so really has not much nutritional value at all. Wholegrain flour is just ground up grains, so all the good stuff

So it is both the seeds or grains you add in and the type of flour you use which makes the bread good for you. The healthiest kind of flour would probably be a stone ground wholegrain, but its a trade off between having a decently fluffy loaf and also cost! I find using 1/2 wholemeal, 1/2 white plus adding more seeds gives a healthy and inexpensive loaf which tastes good! 100% wholegrain I think is quite nice but it wasn't as popular in our house lol.
You could throw in some kibbled grains also

mmm....sounds good!

So, do the seeds etc make the bread good for you, and not so much the type of flour?

MrsB- my bread has been perfect almost every time. Maybe check the order you need to add things. They are probably the same for all machines, but mine suggests the following order...Liquid ingrediants, fats/oils, dry ingrediants (flour/salt/sugar etc), then yeast last.
Also, mine suggests making a small hollow in the centre of the flour and add the yeast there (apparently it ensures water and yeast dont make contact before the kneading process).

i have a gourmet baker and some of the stuff included is sunflower seeds, walnuts, raisins, caraway seeds, honey...
this one sounds nice... a chunky nut bread
for a 750g loaf it has
1 1/8 cup of water
2 tblspns olive oil
2 tblspns honey
3 cups highgrade flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp
surebake yeast
1/4 sunflower seeds
3/8 cup chopped walnuts

everything except the last two ingredients are added in in the beginning and the rest after it has been mixed - my machine gives a couple of beeps to let me know when to add the extra stuff. ]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:51:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143355&title=homemade-bread#1143355 <![CDATA[Homemade bread : I buy a mix of multi-grains from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143349&title=homemade-bread#1143349 Author: Hopes

I buy a mix of multi-grains from bin inn, and substitute about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of them for the same amount of flour in my white bread mix - it tastes great

I'm relatively new to this breadmaking business and all the loaves I make are really dense and heavy! What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to make a light and fluffy loaf in a breadmaker?]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:29:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143332&title=homemade-bread#1143332 <![CDATA[Homemade bread : i just go nuts and add a bunch...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143313&title=homemade-bread#1143313 Author: monikah

i just go nuts and add a bunch of stuff like linseed, extra grains, really crushed nuts, ummm a whole bunch of other stuff but ive been up since 3am and my brain has switched off. i just went nuts down the bin aisle thingy. if its small and looks like it could go in bread then i through it in. it takes a bit of trial and error and i find i put so many grains in it could be a wee bit crumbly at times but play around with it and see what you get. we only ever use wholemeal flour too ]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:12:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143313&title=homemade-bread#1143313 <![CDATA[Homemade bread : Here is the 1kg mulitgrain one...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143307&title=homemade-bread#1143307 Author: nuts_nats

Here is the 1kg mulitgrain one I use in our breville. I have adapted the recipe and use half wholemeal flour and half bread flour so its not too solid and then add seeds etc

400 mL water
2 1/2 T oil
2 tsp sea salt
2 T honey
2 C bread flour (hi grade flour)
2 C wholemeal flour
2 T milk powder
2 T gluten flour
1/3 c oats
1/4 c sunflower seeds
2 T each of chia, linseed, sesame seeds
2 1/2 tsp edmonds surebake yeast

Use wholewheat setting on breadmaker

I have had lots of people tell me this loaf is really yum! Its healthy and comes out a good texture. You can experiment with different seeds and things, sometimes I add oat bran and LSA as well

Good luck!]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:09:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143307&title=homemade-bread#1143307 <![CDATA[Homemade bread : Same size as ours.

Same size as ours. Thought I'd best check as a friend ended up with bread everywhere after putting a recipe in her smaller machine that was meant for a bigger one

Just off out but will do that later. I have just taken the 50/50 loaf out of ours

What size is your breadmaker pekay? I have a couple of fave recipes - a 50/50 white and wholemeal one that we love and a cheese and bacon loaf, also a multigrain recipe. I'll email you them later

We bought a breadmaker a few weeks ago and loving the whole fresh bread thing. However, I can't help but feel like we are not getting what we need in the bread. We mostly make plain white bread and a wholemeal one from Allison/simon Holst. We have yet to explore adding seeds etc.

Does anyone know what needs to be in bread to make it 'healthier'? I am thinking of things like low GI?? Wholegrain to keep the bowels moving?

These are probably stupid questions, but becuase we are 100% homemade bread now, we want to make sure we are doing it right.

TIA!]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:55:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35567&PID=1143091&title=homemade-bread#1143091
